Also, Humpy got 12m per year because he was averaging a double-double at that time.

I heard that what he wants................and this does a number of things. It strengthens our 2 spot for many years. It helps Green more than Bradley because Hayward would pass the ball. Lastly, it puts to bed the ridiculous notion that free agents don't want to play in Boston. Remember we heard that about the Sox a few years ago??

My point on Humpy is this - for 12 mill, he's a bench player this year (true, we didn't give him the money, but we are still paying him). At least Hayward would start and give us 30-35 mins in the prime of his career.

Not a knock on Humpy - I actually hope they re-sign him at a discount!

Slow cap for Hayward based on one good game... He has also had 27 games which he shot under 50% Fg 9 of which where under 30%FG (that makes 11 games hes shot 50% or better). So 2 more games he's shot above 50% compared to shooting under 30%.... Solid bro, Solid. But 1 game does it right? Lets just put his number in the rafters becuase he had a good game... Yeah that sounds about right...

Hey James Anderson scored 36 pts vs the Rockets on 12-16 shooting along with 5 rebounds and 3 steals!! Get this guy a 10 million per year contract, why isnt he in the All-Star ballot, whats going on here??

I just dont know why we have to overpay a RFA this offseason? I'd rather wait until next year and throw money at someone like Jimmy Butler or Kawhi Lenord or Klay Thompson or Iman Shumpert... all RFAs in 2015. Like I too think we need to improve the SG over Bradley and I think his ceiling is limited heavily by his size but we dont need to go do it this next offseason and overpay Hayward esp when there are so many other young options in 2015.

Butler is good - I think Hayward is better....and I think they'll give him the QO

No way Leonard leaves SA - no one does except DuJuan Blair. He is the next franchise player there.

Ditto on Klay Thompson - GSW will give him the QO

I can't stand Shumpert - I think he's incredibly over-rated.

These are all good choices, but in my opinion ( no one else's)...if we take Hayward this off-season, we are set at the 2 and 3 (and maybe 1) for many years and can focus on bigs and other wing players in the draft.

Hayward is a superb regular season player. If you want to blow your salary cap on a player that can't slow down the Lebron and Durants of the world in the playoffs, Gordons your guy along with a million other wing players out there.

They can be one dimensional on offense or defense, they just have to be great at it. Like Bass shooting percentages and man to man defense. Or Bradley's. Or Green's. Or Rondo's. Majerle absolutely could not slow Jordan down and Phoenix almost got swept in the finals because of that 1 shortcoming on the team. Barkley and K.J. and Majerle and Ainge had to play out of their minds offensively just to win a few games.

We have a TPE that expires in 7/14' and RR coming off in 2015 if not traded or extended. 2015 is the year of the FA Big ... We don't want to waste cap space in 2015 on any of the players you mentioned with all the bigs available that year. 2014 is the year to use that TPE for the best player available and Gordon is one of those players. There are others as well but his size, ceiling and relationship with Stevens makes him a real possibility.
